The venue for our Penang trip will be the OZO hotel, 166 Jalan Argyll, Georgetown, Penang. The hotel has a rooftop pool and a dining room on the 25th floor with excellent views. The hotel has a website. We will be playing in the dining area which the hotel has allowed us to use.
In lieu of paying a fairly high price to use the conference room, players for each session will be required to purchase a "snack package" for 25 MYR (approx $8). This will contain 1 hot and cold item and tea/coffee.
We have negotiated a special rate for members -:
Superior room - MYR 295/ night includes 1 breakfast or MYR 323, includes 2 breakfasts (approx $100 - $110)
Deluxe room MYR 330/night includes 1 breakfast or MYR 356, includes 2 breakfasts (approx $110 - $120)
Members can make individual bookings via
sales.penang@ozohotels.com
Be sure to include in your email "bridge4u" to get this special rate.
Singapore airlines flies from Darwin to Penang with a stopover in Singapore for approx $750 - $800 return. Airasia may be flying direct from Darwin to Kuala Lumpur during the dates of our trip, but currently are only flying up until 25th October.
I want to say a special thanks to Robert Graham for all the time and legwork he put in on the ground in Penang negotiating the venue for us.
Cheers Noel
